Very kind of you to offer, sorry I missed this response as I had to get it into the paint shop rather quickly.

I ended up having to trim the section of the lip that slots onto the factory 4.4 grille. Even without the clips that go around the grille slats, it was too deep, pushing on the factory grille not allowing it to sit flush.

After removing a 0.5" strip across essentially up to the ednge of where the horseshoes that circle around the grille originate, making the section one straight line. Kind of looks better imo, but if anyone else has this same issue as I do, this took care of it and was the only way to get it to fit.
